Chapter 728: On the eve of the Great War

Intense construction work continues, but the people of Earth are in a state of extreme frenzy.

Discover new worlds and find new journeys. The confirmation of the outer universe and the reinforcements of the Infinite Legion have had a far greater impact on human society than humans themselves can imagine.

When mankind had just discovered the secrets of hyperspace, human society was extremely prosperous, and that great era was called the Golden Age, also known as the Great Cosmic Age.

People born in that era dreamed of aboard a huge colonial mothership and traveled to distant aliens in search of a new world.

At that time, almost every day, hard-working people became rich overnight, and countless resources made those who went to the alien system a lot of money.

But soon, the drawbacks became apparent.

The central government of Earth has only used many of the extraterrestrial worlds as mining sites, and in addition to imposing high taxes, it has also taken various unequal measures to restrict the development of these colonies.

And all this is to ensure that the central government can maintain absolute superiority and avoid the division of the entire alliance.

But soon the sequelae appeared. The after-effects of these various struggles are that the human beings of the alien system are extremely disgusted with the coalition government, and in order to express their demands, they are happy to launch riots in various places in an attempt to overthrow the rule of the human government. And it was at that time that the Spartan project unfolded in secret.

Under the leadership of Naval Intelligence, relying on the human enhancement technology invented by Dr. Halsie to secretly train super soldiers, which were then used to suppress rebels everywhere, this is the original purpose of the Spartan Project. It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes, and this super soldier plan used to suppress the internal contradictions of the people has become the only means for humanity to fight against the Star Alliance.

Although the various human colonies were reunited under external pressure, repeated defeats, the fall of colonies one by one, and the slaughter of hundreds of millions of human beings all brought the entire human society to the brink of collapse.

At this time, mankind urgently needs a hope, and now Yunqi is the one who brings this hope.

It is precisely on these that the human government has reinvigorated the hearts and minds of the people in this final crisis of destruction, trying to dig up the last shred of people or equipment that can be used.

In less than a month, the UNSC frantically recruited new recruits to desperately repair the warships that had not been completely damaged.

In order to make up enough warships, UNSC fought hard this time and turned over his old book. I didn't expect that there would be a windfall.

Many of the warships built before the war were interrupted due to the effects of the war and were abandoned in various colonial shipbuilding factories. With the help of the nano-self-healing system provided by Yunqi, once a team of covert agents successfully infiltrated these colonies, the device could be installed on the unfinished warships, repaired to their basic state, and then driven back.

Such a crazy plan was approved by the UNSC top management very quickly, and it went very smoothly.

The Star Alliance has no nostalgia for the human colony at all, and they directly burned the metropolis where people gather on the entire planet into glass, and the remaining no-man's land is not taken care of at all.

And those military warship construction areas are all remote areas, so they are lucky enough to escape the attack of the Star Alliance.

With no heavy troops on the ground and no Covenant ships in low-earth orbit, such a mission is simply easy and enjoyable.

Relying on this method, the UNSC has succeeded in recovering at least nearly 500 warships and urgently transporting them to a shipyard above the Earth for special modifications.

In order to make the most of this batch of warships, the UNSC adopted Yunqi's proposal. Removed the most expensive piece of equipment on these ships, the Hyperspace Jump Engine, and freed up plenty of room for armor and a new weapon, the Yang Electron Cannon provided by Yun Qi's friendship!

This kind of weapon that occupies a small size, but is extremely powerful, is directly proportional to the energy supply of the battleship, as long as the battleship can provide enough energy, the power of the positive electron cannon can be increased almost indefinitely.

In order to make the most of these warships, the USCN almost completely removed the main engines from these warships, and only retained some directional control engines, and the result of this was that these warships completely became space turrets. The armor is thick and the firepower is strong, which can withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of the opponent.

And in addition to these gunboats, the UNSC has another windfall.

After the battle with the Covenant, the Naval Intelligence Agency summoned personnel to secretly build one of the most powerful warships in human history on the Oort Nebula.

As a test ship, almost all of the technology of this battleship was reversely researched from the Star Alliance, and even carried some of the technology of the forerunners on it.

It's a pity that the huge hull and a lot of new technologies have caused the construction plan of this warship to be delayed again and again, and as a result, when humans retreat to Earth, this warship is still not completed.

But now, when the UNSC turned over the old bottom, it found that the budget of the Naval Intelligence Agency was simply a bottomless abyss, and a huge amount of money was consumed on a program codenamed X. Soon UNSC found the secretly built battleship.

Seeing that there were ships available, the UNSC directly recruited the giant ship, which had built two-thirds of the time, without saying a word.

When this behemoth, which is more than 5,694 meters long and more than 1,041 meters high, appeared above the earth, the entire human society was shocked.

In the past, human warships were small compared to the Star Alliance, and any Star Alliance warship was a behemoth of more than a kilometer, while most of the human warships were hundreds of meters, and there were only a handful of them that exceeded a kilometer.

But now, humanity also has a giant ship to be proud of.

The supership, named Infinity, surpassed the size of any warship in human history, and was larger than the Covenant's warships.

Big is good, more is beautiful, under the guidance of such an idea, almost most people will intuitively think that a super-large battleship like the Endless has explosive combat effectiveness.

But if people knew that such a super-large battleship was just a façade, it would probably be a big disappointment!

After all, this giant ship has only completed two-thirds of the installation work before, and the most important weapons and equipment have not been installed at all, except for some durability, it is simply a steel coffin!

But fortunately, with the nano repair system provided by Yunqi, as long as there is enough energy, these little guys can rely on the data stored by the battleship's AI to automatically repair and even build those missing hull parts.

After such tinkering, the UNSC was able to assemble a final defense fleet of more than 1,120 warships before the decisive battle approached.

With two other improvised Super Mac guns to defend the space station, such a defensive front would be enough to stop twice the number of the Covenant fleet.

At the same time, the gate to the outer universe, the artificial ring, has also been completed by 50%, as long as the completion progress reaches 60%, you can try to communicate with the main world!

However, it was at this time that long-range reconnaissance satellites placed on the outer reaches of the solar system first discovered an anomalous space jump signal.

Buzzing~

As a huge blue aura flashed, a series of rounded and massive space warships began to appear around the outer Oort cloud of the solar system.

As time passed, the blue flickering light became more and more dense, as if countless stars appeared in the sky.

Under the light of the stars, countless Covenant warships appeared here.

However, due to the interference of the hyperspace fault, these Covenant warships can only reach here at most, and if they want to go further into the gravitational range of the solar system, the hyperspace jump engine will be unstable.

Today, however, the Covenant is prepared, and they will not be thwarted by the mere hyperspace fault generators.
